I know, it's early November and no-one wants to think about Christmas. Well, this ain't Christmas, it's Fishmas, daddio. And it's so cool it's straight from the fridge.

This year's Annual Fishmas Party (East) will take place at the fabulous Lamb in Fisher Street, Lewes, on Friday, December 23rd (so we may all recover in time to feck ourselves up again in true keeping with the birth of baby wotsname).

The band will consist of whoever can still stand (we're falling to bits, you know) and there might be a DJ.

Fancy dress welcome but not compulsory and admission will be free.

We're currently in negotiations (thumb wrestling) for a venue to throw Fishmas Party (West) but any suggestions welcome (we're thinking Brighton or Shoreham).

And don't forget our Dead Celebrities fancy dress New Year's Eve party is at the World's End in London Road, Brighton, this year for a nominal entry fee.
